It was barely a day before the triggering of Article 50 that
the Scottish Parliament in Holyrood voted in favour of holding another
independence referendum. And now bare a day after the PM triggered Article 50,
the First Minister of Scotland has written to the PM for them to also begin arrangement
for a second indyref.
Based on that, it is being understood that the First
Minister is going to be advising the PM to begin a start regarding the power to
have another Scottish independence referendum.
She will say time is tight if the process for holding it is
to be squeezed into her preferred timetable of 18 months.
It is a request that Theresa May will almost certainly
reject judging from her comments concerning the issue.
Ms Sturgeon made the final version herself inside her private
study on the upper floors of her official Bute House residence in Edinburgh. After
Scottish Government officials drafted several versions of the letter, and then tweeted
a picture of herself writing the letter while sat casually on a sofa.
A hard copy of the letter will be sent to Downing Street, which
will also be backed up with a PDF file emailed as an attachment.
